Okay, the academic year is coming to a close, so what's a little cynicism among friends?
When you asked me
if we covered anything important
I didn’t pause to wonder
I got into this work
because it’s all important
But since you asked
then yes
I imagine we did
We watched a bootleg copy of King’s I have a dream speech
took turns playing Vivaldi on the Stradivarius
correctly calculated the date of the rapture
made routine repairs to the space station
hosted a gymnastics team from Sweden
brokered a peace deal in Palestine
isolated the gene for breast cancer
produced an Oscar-winning film
blew up some shit in Chemistry
solved Fermat’s Last Theorem
created a masterpiece in oil
And did some prep for the final
Missed you
